The Helen's genuine fruits became ripe

The Helen's genuine fruits(father and mother are Helen's) are now ripe.

They look like ordinary edible bananas.

There are little flesh and a lot of solid seeds.

At the same time, the fruits of Helen's as mother and Basjoo as father are
also ripe.

They look a litte bit skinny. They grew on the same flower bud. I don't know
the reason why.

There are seemingly less seeds than Helen's genuine fruits. I don't know why.

Now the taste of the both fruits was about the same. The tasted like Velutina
fruits and not so sweet as publicly advertized. No fragrance at all.

In fruit original Musa Helen's hybrid it is a lot of seeds and not enough pulp.

Re: The Helen's genuine fruits became ripe

I'd be interested to see what the hybrid basjoo x 'Helen's Hybrid' plants would be like. Hopefully a cold-hardy, edible type. Who knows, maybe even seedless. I sure hope you plan on germinating those seeds.
